Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday its domestic output increased 17.6% from the previous year to 3.28 million units in 2010, marking the first rise in three years.
The improvement is attributable to strong domestic sales of Prius hybrid vehicles helped by the government's sales incentives for purchasing cars deemed environmentally friendly. Exports also expanded broadly.
Overseas output expanded 21.3% to a record 4.34 million units, rising for the first time in three years, pushed up by production in China and Southeast Asia. The carmaker saw output growth overseas, excluding Europe.
Toyota Motor's group domestic production, including output by Daihatsu Motor Co. and Hino Motors Ltd, expanded 14.2% to 4.04 million units, rising for the first time in three years.
Group overseas output increased 22.2% to a record 4.51 million units, the first improvement in three years.
